I need a stream rod - 2WT or 3WT ?

If you are wanting all of the above things in one rod, go for something like a 9ft 3wt. Ask Andre to elaborate, he'll be more than happy to explain why.

and now to wait for another 'rawt' to unfold

OK Bertu, one time offer...

Lets meet and you can throw all my light sticks, then make up your mind...

00w Sage, 7'10
2w Scott, Fibreglass 6'6
2w Scott, G, 8'4
3w Scott, G, 7'7

Dizzy will bring his 2w Dorber, 9'

I will even bring my 5w's if you want, with all my lines...

Would love to hear your opinions on why they are "toys"?

Can't agree with you more, Mario.

Ha Ha, been fishing X with my 3w for a couple of seasons now, never had an issue... fished it twice with my 2w and found it even better...

Going to 00w it next time...

Now now Herman, you know as well as I do that was in the Vaal context.

Thanks, i'll take you up on that, let's talk and set a date. This does ofcourse include "on-stream' throwing while we fish ... right ?

You carry all the sticks, no problem... and you call the stream...

Why restrict yourselves to matching the rod to the fish? Catching a 10 pound yellow on a 000 wt is akin to launching a 4 inch small stream trout into orbit with an 8 wt,.. great fun for the angler! Isn't that what it is ultimately all about, how much FUN we have? I'm looking forward to hitting stream X with my 10wt next. Now that should be FUN!!!! Dying to see how far I can make the little buggers fly

Anybody else have some usefull comments regarding my original question ?

[Booger Rose]

I would go for the 3wt, use one at the moment and is doing great with dries and nymphs. have taken a yellow on it though and felt it lacked a bit of backbone, even though the yellow was under 1 kg. hooked a carp the other day on this rod, but couldn't get that one out, got broken of in some underwater structure. the rod was to light to turn the old fat lazy carp around. but hey, I love the overall feel of the 3 wt!
